Outer Banks North Carolina 2010

We went to the Outer Banks for our family trip. My brothers and their families, my sister and her family and my parents all went. We all stayed together in one house and had a great time. It was so much fun. The boys loved every minute of it and were on the go all day. The girls loved the swimming pool but not the beach. We had a fun family vacation!

Yellowstone

My nephew is out here from Virginia going to school at BYU Idaho. So we decided to take him to Yellowstone for the day. We had a great trip. We saw lots of animals and took some amazing hikes. It was a fun day.

Peyton turns 5

 

 

 

 

It was Peyton's birthday on Thurdsay May 20th. He turned 5!! Where did 5 years go? He is getting so big. He had his last day of preschool and is ready to start kindergarten this fall. We had a monstor truck birthday party and cake. I think his cake turned out great. It was lots of fun to make. We had a busy day filled with fun. Peyton had some friends come over for a party. We ate cake and played. It was a fun day!

You need to check out this website. She is amazing and has some fun ideas. We grew up in the same ward together. I was her Young Women's leader and it has been fun to watch her grow up and see what a wonderful mother and woman she has become.

Spring Break

For spring break this year we went to Salt Lake and spent the week with family and friends. We had a great time. Even though the weather was bad we still had a good time. We went to Chuck E Cheese, swimming, went to Temple Square, visited with family and went to an easter egg hunt. We came home Saturday night to have Easter at home. The kids were very excited about all the candy and presents. We had a great week together.

Spring

 

 

 

 

The snow is starting to melt and the weather is getting a little bit warmer so that means MUD! Since we don't have any grass that is all we have is MUD. I hate MUD. It gets everywhere and the kids can't and won't stay out of it. So this is what we get when we go outside to play. MUD. I guess as long as they are having fun right? I had to put the picture of Cara's black eye in too. I am not quite sure how it happened. All that I know is Caylin was pushing Cara in the baby doll stroller and they went down the hall into the den and then I heard the crying. She has a cold too so the snotty nose really adds to the picture. Her first shiner!

Wrestling

 

 

 

 

We had our first wrestling tournament on Thursday night. Brayden and Peyton both did really well. It is so fun to watch all of these little kids wrestle. Peyton took 4th and Brayden took 2nd.

Fun times with family

 

 

 

 

This past weekend my parents, niece and nephew came to visit. Saturday was such a beautiful day. We had lots of fun playing outside in the snow.

New pictures

We had some new pictures taken of the kids. Brayden turned 7, Peyton will turn 5 in May and the girls just turned 18 months old. I just can't say enough good about Rebecca White-Star Valley Portraits. She does an amazing job. The pictures all turned out so cute.

Brayden's 7th birthday!

 

 

 

 

Dancing girls

This was too cute to not post. It is fun to watch them dance and twirl. They think they are so cute and so do we! Caylin is in the light pink pants and Cara is in the dark pink pants.

Science Fair

 

 

Brayden wanted to enter the science fair at the school this year. He decided to do his project on Tornado's. Brayden had fun building his tornado in a bottle and learning all about them. I am glad that this project is done but Brayden can't wait for next year. Hmmmmm?????

Christmas 09

We had a wonderful Christmas at our house. The boys were so excited and got exactly what they wanted. The girls really got into opening their presents and had lots of fun!

Santa

 

 

 

 

The Thayne Fire Department had their Christmas party over the weekend. Santa came to visit the kids and give them a presnet. Brayden and Peyton were first in line and loved Santa. The girls on the other had were not big fans. Even with Grandpa Lance there they didn't like Santa. Too cute!

Christmas Best

 

 

Here are the kids in their Christmas best. Aren't they so cute! We think so! Merry Chrismtas

Crazy Girls!!

 

 

 

These two girls are turning into quite the duo. Cara found the powdered sugar, Caylin likes to ride her sister like a horse and Caylin also got her first shiner! We have been busy keeping up with them! Good thing they are cute!

A Hunting We Will Go

 

 

 

 

We went out last weekend with our good friends the Hewards to pick out the perfect tree. We had a great time in the cold and snow. The boys loved playing in the snow and the girls enjoyed it for a little while then they had enough. It was pretty cold out and they got cold right as we found our tree. So Justin and the boys cut down the tree and I headed back to the warm car. The girls were so tired they fell right asleep. (The pictures are out of order) Overall we had a great time and found a very nice tree too!
